Is 12 too small for forsaken? I could go 12 forsaken and another chariot.

 

Most of the responses right now are going to be dropping the 12 Forsaken altogether and just running as many Chariots as possible. I don't even know what you expect to gain from swapping the Knights over to Forsaken to be honest. I think that you answer will really determine what mark you choose to take. Slaanesh Forsaken are actually pretty fast - only an inch slower than Knights, and still hit decently hard when they roll a decent number of attacks. The Khorne versions though - they hit quite a bit harder, but still, only really on-par with Knights. So when you get down to it, the biggest consideration for taking Forsaken isn't to save points on Knights - you should be going for a 1:1 in my opinion, sacrificing 1M and a little hitting power for ranks and possibly Steadfast/Disruption etc.

 

I guess if I had to run forsaken it would be in small units of 10 and Khorne because forsaken really are glass hammer & have no command.

Still consider this for Core units with no command:

10 Khorne Forsaken (210)

vs.

1 Khorne Chariot

Letting the forsaken have the charge.

KC: 2.66 wounds + 0.83 wounds

KF Mutations
1. 1.16w
2. 1.66w
3. 1.3w
4. 2.08w
5. 1.25w (vs. 2.3 draw)
6. 1.25w

In even the worst scenario of being charged and rolling regenerate the best you can hope for is a draw, for almost twice the points spent.

Against regular infantry the chariot is going to do more every time with its impact hits and superior stats all-round.

 

Why are you looking to take Forsaken in the first place mate? You don't really need the Core points (just get another chariot) so you could go with something from Special or Rare. A unit of 6 Trolls has the same speed, costs less and puts out more pain than a unit of Forsaken. Sure, stupidity is a problem but with a LD9 General and a BSB you should be fine. Or go for Ogres if you're that worried about Stupidity. They're not as tough as the old Trolls but they're more independent and reliable.

 

Was just looking for a fast alternative for 5 knights. Something mostly unaffected by terrain and that can still hit like a boss.

I think I'll try your suggestion of 8 slaanesh ogres with GWs.

 

I've played Slaanesh Ogres before, but with 12 - they are awesome & very very reliable. I could see them working very well with Slaanesh magic too.

 

Yeah, ASL helps them a ton and my metal wizard giving them a 3+ armor or +1 to hit would be nice too.
